Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons low sodium ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and low sodium ranch seasoning until well blended. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, chopped parsley, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken breast into the Greek yogurt mixture, ensuring a thick, even coat on all sides.
Gently press each yogurt-coated chicken breast into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, making sure it's fully covered. Shake off any excess.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle a small amount of the olive oil over the top of each chicken breast to promote browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
